About Waste Siege: The Life of Infrastructure in Palestine (Stanford Studies in Middle Eastern and Islamic Societies and Cultures)

Waste Siege offers an analysis unusual in the study of it depicts the environmental, infrastructural, and aesthetic context in which Palestinians are obliged to forge their lives. To speak of waste siege is to describe a series of conditions, from smelling wastes to negotiating military infrastructures, from biopolitical forms of colonial rule to experiences of governmental abandonment, from obvious targets of resistance to confusion over responsibility for the burdensome objects of daily life. Within this rubble, debris, and infrastructural fallout, West Bank Palestinians create a life under settler colonial rule. Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbins focuses on waste as an experience of everyday life that is continuous with, but not a result only of, occupation. Tracing Palestinians’ own experiences of wastes over the past decade, she considers how multiple authorities governing the West Bank-including municipalities, the Palestinian Authority, international aid organizations, NGOs, and Israel-rule by waste siege, whether intentionally or not. Her work challenges both common formulations of waste as and “matter out of place and ” and as the ontological opposite of the environment, by suggesting instead that waste siege be understood as an ecology of and “matter with no place to go. and ” Waste siege thus not only describes a stateless Palestine, but also becomes a metaphor for our besieged planet.
